While I understand that is not a "scalable" practice, with this being my first property, it gave me the opportunity to teach myself a lot and get into the real estate market slowly but with a solid foundation.

And is it scalable?

I am going to continue using Excel while I figure out scalable solution.

Even the best intentions to help someone can be used against you in complaints.In summation, having a process improves scalability, lowers liability, and allows for customer service b/c the tenants know exactly what to expect.

I'm very focused on security, a solution that does exactly what I need, and that is scalable. 

Do you want scalability or security?

However this is not scalable.

(It would most likely need to be a flip/wholesale since I am not "bankable" for a mortgage yet)Not so short term (5-8 months): Some time towards the end of summer moving into a SMF (Preferably a 4-plex) when my current lease ends and credit score/time with job should be good enough to be bankable and do a BRRRR/Live in flip/House hack.Long term (3-5 years): BRRRR my way from SFH and SMF into large multi family.Very long term(5-15 years): Continue growing a scalable business in RE (still havent figured out exactly what direction that will be in) or Grant Cardone 2.0 in syndications (Sky's the limit right?)

It's more scalable, as you can have "trainees" do much of the logistical work, and you don't have to crawl under the house!

However, markets are nonlinear dynamical systems and scalable analytics must be utilized in order to quantify it.
